Lots of options. Eli as you said. Last season there was a game where they had to trot Streveler out there as a receiver. They've had packages in the past that gets Willie out there as a TE. The possibilities are limitless!

Are they playing in the GC this week? Or are they playing their 3rd game of the year. If we're going to compare the past and learn from history....the correct thing would be to compare where they are now compared to where they were relative to the same time last year. Last year they started 0-4 after a lazy TC. Would you say they admitted a mistake and learned from it? We can go on and on about the last 3 grey cups. But they aren't preparing for the GC this week.

he's such an odd one...super nice guy...very smart...well spoken...but just an assbag on the field

i second that....and puts guys in spots, and or utilzes their best assets to make life easier for ZC....Not the Buck way that we saw the last 2 seasons

and hurt...age kills football players....well...keeps em off field more than on...Benson was never an injury issue...not sure what/how he got hurt but would a guy in his prime...or 12 yrs younger or so have gotten hurt??

Hopefully jarious had a good chat with Zach about what he can and can not do anymore. We shall see.

so he claims...but when rubber meets the road and guys are hurt/underperforming all those other "they all starter guys..thats why6 they here" still sit.....as they play the weak and wounded....bullshit artist extroidinaire...early season games...especially a home one against a weaker sister...short week...guys a bit banged up is the perfect time to get guys like Mitchell....Person...Bailey..Cobb in for reps/valuable playtime experience and if anything else...see what they can do and if they make us better...but alas no...ride guys to a worn out nub...and not groom/develop depth...I can see 2025 going the same way 2022-2024 went...with a possibility this yr it all comes to roost and we dont even make the big dance in our own back yard...worn out guys...injured guys still playing...zero depth or lack of faith in the "they all starter guys"....until Osh proves otherwise to us there no reason not to think this exact same scenario now running 4 yrs in a row plays out again dont learn from history you tend to repeat it 4 yrs running...Maybe thats why Osh and Walters aren't re-upped yet/again..Maybe Miller wants to see results...and I can see him doing that too... and end if one or both our old ends get knicked....DT too if Lawson or Adams goes down which also is a piss poor thing going on...step in coach(s) and get in his ear...or grill...It's not like other teams don't see that and take things away and we sputter or throw picks...for all this great coaching people claim we have...and we surely do...they sure suck at putting things together at times as it should be....we tend to stunt guys at times....and I dont mean running Thomas in a stunt hahaha....that was soooooembarrasing

MCI scored a beautiful TD last game that was called back on a penalty. I can totally see his role expanded.

In the same spirit that keeps listing Ayes at defensive end we can list Eli and Streveler at slot.

No worries we have Eli who can come in and make some plays

McAfee does. Dudes over like rover on pro wrestling. Not even a joke. McAfee is charisma. SAS also. He has something. I mean, most the time it’s prob just the way he says something but it’s something. Dude is a popular sports personality. I mean he’s making millions man. He’s doing something right obviously.

You forgot long-snappers, Mike Benson is 38.

Zach only looks for 2 or 3 guys anyways. The 5th receiver really is irrelevant. They could start 4 receivers and 2 backs really. Cuz Zach ain’t using the 5th option most times. He’s going option 1 or 2. That’s Wheatfall and Schoen right now. Zachs a throw a 50 yard pass into double coverage instead of a 7 yard pass to an open guy right now QB. Dude doesn’t take the short stuff.

No corporate or owner anymore. They not an option. 17 million in cap. Bouchard wants 10. They have 4 or 5 ufas to sign. Nope to Ehlers. Edmonton isn’t more anonymous than Winnipeg. Think Carolina or Columbus for Ehlers. Aka no media attention and anonymity. That’s apparently what he wants. And honestly. Prob a real chance he signs here but I’d imagine he’s gone and that’s ok cuz Cory Perry had more playoff goals in his age 40 season Than Ehlers has his entire career. He can move on or stay really. I just hope if he stays he’s not getting Scheifele or Helle money. Cuz he’s not that guy.

Wheatfall

That’s anorexically thin at receiver if Demski can’t go.

Not getting a penalty (especially one that comes with a fine) is cause enough for Awe to celebrate!

"What's past is prologue"

Im not sure that Cooley was added last week over depth fears but more that they wanted to take a look at him. It might always have been part of the plan to start the American guard in week one because they weren’t confident at that point if Nuefeld was going to be able to play the whole game. After he did they were more comfortable going with Nuefeld and Wallace as the guards the following week and got Cooley on the roster. I hope he has a larger role this week. Other than the fumble and recovery he looked pretty good and out performed Peterson.

Because that makes too much sense, what are you ******* high man?!?!

We always have to remember 'controversial' sells...business '101'....and we are. as much as we hate it at times, a business....Luke will stick around until his schtick no longer sells😉

If any thing, it makes sense to keep any one banged up out after a short turn around week. Especially a guy like Demski. Similarly if you have any one like Adam’s last year who isn’t up to par on playing a longer than college length schedule in the year it’s a good time to move guys around. Every one a starter after all right?

Like Milt Stegall is the best receiver ever in the league and will always be a fan favourite.... but if they tried to put him in the field we'd all lose our ****. Every player no matter how great has a best before date. Bighill is well past his.

I hate to pile on but this comment is just incorrect... Bighill is almost universally loved for his time in Wpg... he's one of the key reasons we broke the drought and won back-to-backs... we just don't want him on the field any more... it's plain to see his best days are long gone... all the best to him in Calgary.... I look forward to when he signs a one-day contract and retires a Bomber so we can properly celebrate him here

Neither of those two have either.
